*** IMPORTANT *** If the loot is on group loot, you will be unable to loot the book if someone else is the designated looter until they loot it. To avoid this, either set the loot to FFA or set the loot to masterlooter and type the following:/script SetLootThreshold(0)Blizzard will not reimburse you if you are unable to loot this quest item!

The sixth book is dropped from Onyxia and its pretty straight forward. Again, either set the loot to FFA or set the loot to masterloot to avoid a potential headache.

What are these books for-if you dont mind my asking?

Comment by Antileah

You have to make sure all of the trash loot is looted before you can loot the quest item, mouse over the corpse to see who to shout at.. ;)

Also BEWARE, only ONE person on the quest can loot this item! I confirmed this tonight when two of us on this quest raided her and once one of us looted the item there was no quest item for the other. So that mean's I owe someone another Onyxia run!

we killed onyxia today, we had group loot, another member was targeted to loot corpse, i was the only one with a quest, but no quest item has been dropped. I will write here solituon, next reset...

Comment by AyaJulia

Players who wish to complete this quest chain should do so as soon as possible. This aspect of it may or may not be disappearing when Onyxia is converted to a level 80 raid in patch 3.2.2. The devs haven't made up their minds just yet....

We haven't made a decision on what we will do with the chapter of Draconic for Dummies, that Onyxia currently drops for this quest. - Crygil (Source)

Edit: Various sources have confirmed that the book still drops. If you have the quest and can't see the book on the corpse, make sure the person the corpse is "assigned" to has opened the loot window.

4.0.1 Edit: This item has been prematurely removed from Onyxia's loot table, such that it is no longer obtainable in the correct way. However, since the quest has not been removed YET, a GM ticket after killing Ony will get you your book in the mail.

Good luck for those who are still gonna complete those quests.

I just looted chapter 6 from the revamped Onyxia for 80s. It was 10, I assume it drops from 25 as well. It was on master loot and it wasn't showing up at first, then after a few minutes, it appeared in the loot box and I grabbed it.

Comment by jshady

I can confirm that yes the book still does drop i also looted it from 10 man

Comment by Kalessa

yes, because it matters so hard, rite?

Comment by Morticius

Since the movement of level 60 Onyxia loot onto Nefarian, does anybody know whether this was moved across also, thereby making it possible for characters of a lower level than 80 to complete the chain?

Comment by Draccus

I'd be interested to know this as well, I have a friend who has a 60 paladin who has done almost all the quests in the chain, but for obvious reasons... cannot kill Onyxia.

Comment by Idocreating

Chapter is lootable on Onyxia 25 using Master Looter setting. I was able to loot it despite not being the Master Looter.

Comment by Amadaeus

Well, its official, this quest CANNOT be finished by a level 60.

I have the other 7 chapters, and just need the one from Onyxia. A lvl 60 cannot enter the instance anymore since its 80, and the item is BoP so no mailing it. I submitted a ticket, and the GM told me that because of the 'evolution of the game', that they will not mail the item to a lvl 60 so the quest can be finished, and that if I want to complete it, I should level to 80. Thats real good... level to 80 to finish a quest line for a level 60, so I can get the level 60 reward item...

Sometimes I really hate blizzard, they are ruining the game for those of us that want to enjoy the classic content.

Just beat Onyxia (25 mode) and did not see the chapter on her body which concerned me A LOT, that is until it randomly appeared on her body (it's group loot btw) and I was able to loot the chapter thank goodness.

Comment by Freezy3

One question I have not seen answered was since the new onyxia's have been introduced. Does it still only give out a quest item to one person?

EDIT: Yes just did this earlier. Still can only have one person attain this quest item per kill.

Comment by Martika

I am so furious right now, I'm just pulling my hair out. After working so hard on the scepter quest to get to this point, I ran Onyxia with a 10 man - took us 2 hours but she finally died. Then master looter passes out the loot, and I figure that similar to Ragnaros and even Dr. Weevil, once the loot has been passed out, a moment would pass and then the corpse would be lootable and I could get the chapter.

But as soon as the last loot item was passed out, the corpse vanished.

No one in the raid received the chapter, and frankly it makes no sense that they would anyway since I was the only one with the quest! So I got completely and utterly screwed, and I don't understand WHY.

Comment by Unkept

Just killed Onyxia 10 man, loot was master looted to people by me, and she is not skinnable which means something is still on her, the person who was designated to loot her did and did not get the Draconic for Dummies, the loot icon showing up for me, I am not seeing anything to loot.

Edit: I am on the quest, this is the final chapter I need to finish.

Comment by Unkept

Just did her 10 man, she is not skinnable which means something is still on her, the person who was designated to loot her did and did not get the Draconic for Dummies, I was the master looter and with the loot icon showing up I am not seeing anything to loot.

Comment by Elethiena

I just did Onyxia 10 Player, as of 4.0.1. I had the loot set to Masterlooter and the Icon showed up with no problems what so ever.

Comment by Temeryx

I just did this 10M, with Group Loot setting. The quest item was not on the boss, and the person whom the corpse was designated to, could not loot the boss.This was the last chapter I need to complete the quest.

Update: Put in a ticket and got the item in the mail.

Comment by Samskeyti

Killed Onyxia on 10 man setting yesterday. Used Master Loot with Rare threshold, quest item didn't drop. I put in a ticket and the GM sent me my chapter.

Comment by sleeper386

Still not working right in 4.0.3. I petitioned a GM and the response was that the questline had already been removed, when it clearly hasn't. So, I sent in another ticket and got the standard form letter crap about how "We know about the problem and are working on it, we'll let you know when something's done." I'm sending in another hoping I don't get completely screwed by this, I've done every other quest up to this point and I have all the items to finish the line after this, so I'm crossing my fingers.

Comment by Jacobee

I was able to loot this item to myself with Master Loot tonight on November 19th (4.0.3). It seems like many others have been having issues, but the chapter *is* technically on Onyxia's loot table as of this date. This is contrary to the rumors that the item had already been completely removed with exception of GM assistance.
